1. Which of the following is the most likely setting of the scenario below? Walking along the Thames, Julianna saw a sign advertising a fish and chips shop. Since she felt a bit peckish, she made her way over to the queue.

• A. Chicago, United States
• B. Vienna, Austria
• C. Tokyo, Japan
• D. London, England

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The mention of the Thames, fish and chips, and queue strongly indicates a British setting. Fish and chips are a traditional British dish, and the Thames is a famous river in London, England. Additionally, forming a queue is a common practice in England. Therefore, based on these cultural clues, London, England, is the most likely setting of the scenario. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not align with the specific cultural references mentioned in the scenario.

2. Select the correct verb to complete the following sentence: Our family _____________ staying home for the holidays this year.

• A. is
• B. be
• C. am
• D. are

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: is.' In the sentence, 'Our family is staying home for the holidays this year,' the singular collective noun 'family' requires a singular verb to maintain subject-verb agreement. 'Is' is the correct singular form of the verb to match with 'family.' Choice B 'be' is incorrect as it is the base form of the verb and does not agree with the subject 'family.' Choice C 'am' is incorrect as it is a first-person singular form of the verb 'to be,' which does not align with the subject 'family.' Choice D 'are' is incorrect as it is a plural form of the verb and does not match with the singular subject 'family.'

• A. Revise the content
• B. Plan and conduct research
• C. Select the topic and write the thesis statement
• D. Organize the material into a logical format

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is to 'Revise the content.' This step occurs last in the writing process as it involves reviewing the entire work to ensure clarity, coherence, and error-free writing. Choice B, 'Plan and conduct research,' typically takes place at the beginning of the writing process to gather information. Choice C, 'Select the topic and write the thesis statement,' is an early step to define the focus of the writing. Choice D, 'Organize the material into a logical format,' usually occurs after researching and outlining the content but before the final revision stage.

4. What is the definition of a homophone?

• A. Words with opposite meanings
• B. Words that sound the same

• D. Words with similar spellings

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct definition of a homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning and often different spelling. Choice A, 'Words with opposite meanings,' is incorrect as homophones do not necessarily have opposite meanings. Choice C, 'Synonyms,' is incorrect because homophones are not words with the same meaning. Choice D, 'Words with similar spellings,' is also incorrect as homophones may have different spellings.

5. Which of the following best describes the term monochromatic?

• A. having one color
• B. having many parts
• C. having a lot of time
• D. having too much heat

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'monochromatic' refers to something that has only one color. Choice A, 'having one color,' is the correct description for monochromatic.

Monochromatic specifically conveys the idea of consisting of or using only one color, making Choice A the correct answer.
